Hanged Sudanese 'may be innocent'

DrPot — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:27:32 +0100

Lobby group Amnesty International has condemned as "outrageous" the hanging of nine Sudanese men convicted of beheading a newspaper editor in 2006.
"They were arbitrarily arrested, tortured and then subjected to an unfair trial," said the body's deputy Africa director Tawanda Hondora.
They were hanged in a prison in the capital, Khartoum, in front of relatives of the editor, Mohammed Taha.
The men, from Darfur, were apparently upset by an article in Mr Taha's paper....Mr Taha's al-Wifaq newspaper had angered members of the Darfur community by downplaying the scale of rape in the Darfur conflict and insulting women from the region.
